01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Fiat 2300 S Cabriolet Ghia, a rare gem in automotive history, holds a unique place with only three units ever built. Remarkably, one of these precious creations still exists today, meticulously restored to its former glory. Crafted under the visionary design of Sergio Sartorelli, this Cabriolet was a testament to elegance and innovation. Originally, Ghia entertained the notion of producing the Fiat 2300 S Cabriolet in a limited series. The concept garnered such enthusiasm that a brochure was even printed, hinting at the anticipation surrounding this exclusive vehicle. Distinguished by its hydroelectric powered roof and electric windows, the Fiat 2300 S Cabriolet epitomized luxury and convenience. Its spacious interior could accommodate up to five occupants comfortably, a testament to both style and practicality. Carrozzeria Ghia went a step further by promoting it as a “4 season car,” emphasizing its adaptability to varying weather conditions. Built on the same chassis as its counterpart, the Fiat 2300 S Coupé, this Cabriolet shared its foundation while boasting a distinct personality of its own. The seamless integration of luxury and performance made it a coveted choice among discerning drivers of its time. Despite its limited production, the Fiat 2300 S Cabriolet Ghia remains a cherished relic of automotive craftsmanship, symbolizing the pinnacle of Italian design and engineering.
